Disclaimer: So pretty much warning you now before you go any further. This is the most addicting game on the planet, and you will lose everything in your life if you play it.
Clicker heroes is the 8th most played game on steam, it's been around for roughly a year, and it's very similar to cookie clicker, just with better progression. Feel free to read some reviews before you commit your life to this game.
The game has a reddit community that has done tremendous amounts of math for this game, ran simulations, solved problems with numerical methods, ran genetic algorithms using neural networks, and everything else you can imagine. This game is also extremely popular with people of math, programming, and science backgrounds (as well as philosophy).
The game is tremendously popular with Dota 2 players, and I imagine many others also. So feel free to share you experiences with the game, my stats as of now are:

Anyway, feel free to discuss whatever about this game... Maybe make a TL clan, or whatever else. I felt like I needed to give this game justice by created a thread for it. Link to clicker heroes:

I made an account yesterday, definitely enjoying it =]
|
I had been thinking about trying this a while back and when I saw this, I figured I'd give it a go. I started yesterday and have put about 7 hours into it (although some of that I had left the program open while away).
So far I'm at the 74th world, farming up a bit to take on the boss!

Keep it up ^^. With the introductions of clans, the rate of progress has sped up significantly once you reach later into the game.

what are you, some kind of prodigy? after 48 hours im only level 64

So does this game get any different later? Everything is always the same.....

Dunno, I just installed it too and have been playing it for some time. Am at level 54 and shit takes foreveeeeeeeeeeeer to kill atm. I got the first 3 abilities unlocked and have all the way up to the Sir George II hero (can buy midas for 4,000B soonish).
Only thing I've noticed so far as far as help goes is just click the shit that pops on the screen, especially birds and then bees can be somewhat helpful. But birds give shitloads of gold and sometimes rubies. Also if you farm a zone a bit treasure chest monsters appear which give extra gold as well, think they are random as well.
Other than that yeah it's quite repetitive. I unlocked the option to join clans (at lvl 50) but I read clans can only have 10 ppl and I dont really know anyone else playing it and then don't know how hard the clan content is (if my low level guy could even do the content for the extra stuff).

If you're playing at the right timing, you will go much faster.

I played a bit for like 2-3 months, but eventually I got bored and started save editing just to see all the heroes and ancients, which is where the interesting things are. It's definitely better take on the genre than the older games, but to be truly great, they need more variation, because right now there are basically only 2 ways to play the game with the ancients.

I don't think so haha
I don't recall exactly what I did, but you don't even really need to click often. The additional heroes after Cid do passive (idle) dps for you. Basically I tried to get to each level before each boss and stay there until I thought I was "strong" enough.
Once I had enough dps I could kill the boss using my clicks along with the idle dps and with the help of the spells you can learn, it is even easier.
I use the first 5 all at once against a boss and at this point (8 hours in, level 91), the boss goes down in 5-10 seconds. I can then use the rest of the spell times to get through the next few zones, too.
So I don't really ever click unless I'm using those spells. I don't have to leave the game open, either, because when I start it up again through Steam, it tells me how much gold I've collected while logged off.
So while my played time is 8 hours, I've had the game for a couple days 
When leveling up heroes, I log in and look at what the most expensive heroes I can level up/afford are. I level those up, but also making sure along the way that I obtain all of the spells, too.
Here are my hero levels:
+ Show Spoiler +
Cid, 300
Tree, 100
Ivan, 125
Brittany, 100
Fisherman, 100
Betty, 100
Samurai, 100
Leon, 75
Forest Seer, 75
Alexa, 100
Natalia, 75
Mercedes, 100
Bobby, 100
Broyle, 100
George, 100
Midas, 125
Referi, 125
Abaddon, 75
Ma Zhu, 18
Amenhotep, 10
Beastlord, 100
Athena, 4
Aphrodite, 8
I do 2,499q dps and 74,990T click (although with all the spells I crit over 50% of the time and can click really fast for 30 seconds)
As you can see, I've level up each hero (pretty much) to unlock all their passives, as some give extra click damage or contribute additional damage to other heroes, in addition to the spells you can learn.

I played this months ago, severe addiction, you think you're being sneaky at work but in the end everyone notices it.
I had just earned all achievements when they added the rangers. At that point I quit as I realised it would NEVER END.
(But first I used a save file hacker to regain all achievements, of course.)
|
Like many others have posted I played this months ago before they added the heroes after Frostleaf or Frostbeard whatever that guys name was it was just something nice to waste time on and then it gets pretty boring when you are just racing to farm hero souls. Looks like they added new things and I am sad I clicked this thread cause I may have to go back and play again.

Played this game a while back before the Rangers came out. Was 2000 HZE on an autoclicker build. Started this game up again for mobile, going the idle route. After a week, got to HZE 900 with extremely good luck on multiple gilds on frostleaf to get passed the treebeast 1000 hump and 5 gilds on ivan to really push until i got all the necessary ancients. Also helped that clan gave me a hell of a lot of HS starting out.

Why people think its fun to play a game that plays itself, that you can come back to and say "oh wow, look how far it has gotten me", is beyond me.

You can't really leave, Clicker Heroes doesn't play itself. Definitely a time sink that many wont feel good about after playing though, you can say that about a lot of games though... Creating your scripts to play the game for you is a fun and educational exercise.
Anyway, I think I'll be regilding to Alabaster today, quite excited for that. I also have been working on a lot of the math for optimal ancient ratios, you might've seen my revolutionary early game Siya vs HS/Morg formula here.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z99xA2oTKi3peJD8rmMO_sEFWMS-RN9vKOk2e6t_2Vg/edit#gid=40215569
I have followed a similar method to derivate a Libertas vs Mammom equation, and currently I'm somewhat stuck on deriving a Siya vs Libertas formula. I have trouble making the link between DPS vs Gold. Siya and Morg is relatively easy, simply because you're maximizing the damage multiplier, but I'm not really how to bring together the two.
It's not (DPS multiplier)*(Gold Multiplier), because the gold has a lower weight, and your gold is worth less since you're receiving it from previous floors, and then also incorporating that lag in time between the gold being dropped and picked up.

being in a clan means u get to join in daily "boss fights", with the reward being a lot of hero souls

I just ascended, I dont understand the math though. I have 10 hero souls and the double damage boost from rubies, but my dps is still 60?
Edit: I think I got it, the double/triple dps is just already included in the hero's damage
